Universal Quantum Raises over $100M Series A to Scale Quantum Computing Globally

HAYWARDS HEATH, England and HAMBURG, Germany, Oct. 12, 2026 — Universal Quantum has announced it has secured over $100 million in Series A funding, marking the largest Series A ever raised by a quantum firm headquartered in the UK. The funding will accelerate the company’s global expansion, as well as the development and commercialization of its modular technology, advancing a path towards fault-tolerant quantum computing.

The round was co-led by DCVC and Firgun Ventures, with participation from EDBI, Artal (advised by Invus), Integral GlobalTech, Main Sequence, Hostplus, NGS Super, IAG Capital, EdenBase, Eigenstate Holdings, SiteGround Capital and Dave Baszucki (founder and CEO of Roblox), as well as other existing and new strategic investors including Nauta Capital and The Venture Collective.

“Universal Quantum’s progress reflects our partners’ belief that we represent one of the most credible paths to quantum computing at scale,” said Dr. Sebastian Weidt, CEO and co-founder of Universal Quantum. “This round unites an extraordinary group of investors from the world’s most important pools of capital around a single mission: delivering utility-scale quantum computing.”

The new capital will drive the continued development and commercialization of Universal Quantum’s modular approach to building the quantum computers needed for practical, error-corrected use – leveraging the company’s patented, world-record interconnect technology and advanced integrated chips to develop the chiplet arrays and control systems required to reduce engineering risk and accelerate the path to larger-scale quantum computers.
